Copyright Information</p>
<p>Under federal copyright law, sharing copyrighted works such as music, movies, games and software over the Internet is generally illegal unless done with the copyright owner’s permission. Similarly, UW policy prohibits copyright infringement over UW computing networks. If you share copyrighted works over the Internet without the owner’s permission, it is likely you are violating both federal law and UW policy. If you are caught infringing copyright over UW networks, the consequences can be serious. The copyright owner could sue you. Also, under UW policy you may be subject to disciplinary action and loss of UW network privileges. Copyright owners search constantly for violations of their rights over the Internet. Do not count on not getting caught. If you ever have any questions about the appropriate use of computing and networking resources, contact UW-IT Help.</p>
